BAC's Brendan McKay Named Among World's Top Mortgage Leaders for 2025

Brendan McKay of Broker Action Coalition earns Global 100 recognition for mortgage leadership and advocacy work securing Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act passage.

This recognition matters because it highlights how individual advocacy can drive meaningful consumer protection legislation in the mortgage industry. The Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act, which McKay helped pass, directly impacts millions of homebuyers by ending the predatory practice of trigger leads - where lenders purchase mortgage applicants' information and bombard them with unsolicited offers. For consumers, this means greater privacy during one of life's most significant financial transactions and less harassment during the homebuying process. The legislation represents a rare bipartisan victory in financial regulation that prioritizes consumer interests over industry practices, setting a precedent for future reforms. McKay's dual role as both practicing broker and policy advocate demonstrates how frontline industry experience can inform effective legislation, creating a model for other professionals to influence policy. As mortgage rates and regulations continue to evolve, this type of consumer-focused advocacy becomes increasingly important for maintaining fairness in the housing market.
